Use Python and photonics measurement skills as a Photonics Test Engineer supporting Xanadu’s experimental test laboratories. This initial contract or internship is offered for four months.
As part of Xanadu’s Test & Measurement Team, you will develop procedures, support device measurement and qualification routines, and analyze results. The work involves complex laboratory hardware, software systems, instrumentation, and cross-functional communication. You will help advance Xanadu’s mission to build useful quantum computers.
Key Responsibilities: Build and debug complex photonics measurement hardware and software systems
Operate setups and execute repeated measurements with careful attention
Debug measurement failures in real time
Develop Python automation for high-volume measurement routines
Exchange results with design, instrumentation, and tooling teams
Requirements: Pursuing a BSc, MS, or PhD in electrical engineering or physics
Proficiency in Python for instrument control
Experience with standard laboratory equipment
Experience in optics laboratories and electronics test benches
Systematic experimentation and solid attention to detail
Apply photonics testing, Python automation, and laboratory measurement expertise to Xanadu’s quantum computing research.
